Great site for layover or to simply relax for several days

This was a nice site with clean, modern facilities. Friendly and very helpful wardens, and there was plenty of points for recycling and water, so we never had to venture very far. Given the icy weather, heavy snow, and winds, I was very happy about this particular feature! Even with only having the odd day of non-inclement weather, it was a fantastic stay. The wardens had spread grit and the dog run had two dog waste bins, so our Newfies were able to be walked without bother. The wardens put water out for them and would come out and break the ice for them so they could drink before heading back to the van. Our teens enjoyed walking in the nearby Quarry park with us (dogs permitted, on lead only). There was easy access to the bus and a nearby pub with good meals that wasn't expensive either. As for supermarkets, we were spoilt for choice. Tesco was nearby as well as several Chinese supermarkets, in case we wanted some authentic Asian cuisine. I'd rather like going back to this site during the warmer months and fancy enjoying a good Korean style BBQ one afternoon! Another nice day we visited the nearby American cemetery. It was a beautiful place to visit and if you are ahistory buff, a definite must visit place. The visitor's centre had lots of pictures, interactive exhibits and so on, the caretaker was happy to receive visitors and talk about the site as well, and a walk through the cemetery was quite touching. As it happened, my wife is American and using the free app she downloaded, she did a quick search and located the grave of one relative and the names of two more on the wall of the missing. The pitches were well laid out so you felt very private and no matter where uyou were, you had trees to look at. The electric didn't stutter despite the inclement weather and the wifi connectivity kept our game happy son occupied while were weren't playing board games, out, or watching a film.
